The officials in Berlin should work longer in the future to better manage the challenges of modern working life. This measure is expected to lead to adjustments to civil law and lead to a debate about the working conditions of the officials in the capital. The Association of the Officials has already announced the first reactions to this planned change.

The association has emphasized that the extension of working hours is only acceptable under certain conditions. It must be ensured that the officials are adequately compensated for their additional working hours and that their health burdens are taken into account. In addition, the association calls for transparent communication and sufficient participation of the civil servants concerned in implementing this measure.

The discussion about the working hours of the officials in Berlin will be carried out intensively in the next few weeks and months. It remains to be seen how the association and other representatives of interest will react to the planned changes and which compromises can ultimately be found to improve the working conditions of the officials in Berlin.

Additional information: Before April 2023, there were already several discussions about the working hours of officials in other German cities such as Munich and Hamburg. Different models were proposed to flexible working hours in order to meet the changed requirements of professional life. It should be noted that the extension of working hours for civil servants is a controversial topic, since both the interests of employers and those of the employees must be taken into account.
